Charlie and the chocolate factory

When : July 14th 2005
Title : Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Starring : Johnny Depp
Plot: Classic children’s story
Review : Seriously weird... If you liked the weirdness of the first movie you are in for a treat, because it pays homage to that, and then some. Depp is perfect for the role, but the Michael Jackson comparisons are freaky. The burping scene from the first film is cut, which was a suprise because let’s face it bodily function humour never fails. There is also a lot more emphasis on the life of Willy Wonka before and after the story. Supporting cast is good, with the characters really being Caricatures of the excesses of today’s society allows them to ham it up without stinking.
Rating: B+
